So I working, paying student loan and credit card on regular, had a rented apartment (downpay would have tided me over for three months).
Parents went mad, lost it, got pissed that I'm living alone, no plans to marry have kids leave job and settle down. (I'm in India, this happens to 60-80% of female workforce by force not choice).
Anywho, mom came to my apt, with friends dragged me out kicking and screaming, locked me up at home, no phone no net, no access. Office called a 1000 times, didn't know what was up, sent letters, which I wasn't allowed to see, and didn't know about. Finally they laid me off because they didn't get a reply for 2 months.
It's been 7 months. My family is not allowing me to go for interviews, get a job. Now that I've been fired, they have somewhat released their hold on me. Now they just keep calling random strangers home to marry me. (Indian culture basics - how to force a girl to get married).
How do I get back in? I have walked to a couple of interviews; but since my former job was 'big' I'm overqualified for many other jobs here. In my niche area, jobs don't open up that often, and when they do, they tend to be not in my city.
I'll take up a lesser job, but I'm usually more qualified than my bosses despite my age, so theyre apprehensive to hire me.
